In this paper we explore the present state of genealogical practice, with a particular focus on how the process of research is recorded and later accessed by other researchers. We then present our response, ChronoTape, a novel tangible interface for supporting family history research. The ChronoTape is an example of a temporal tangible interface, an interface designed to enable the tangible representation and control of time. We use the ChronoTape to interrogate the value relationships between physical and digital materials, personal and professional practices, and the ways that records are produced, maintained and ultimately inherited. In contrast to designs that support existing genealogical practice, ChronoTape captures and embeds traces of the researcher within the document of their own research, in three ways: (i) it ensures physical traces of digital research; (ii) it generates personal material around the use of impersonal genealogical data; (iii) it allows for graceful degradation of both its physical and digital components in order to deliberately accommodate the passage of information into the future.","PeriodicalId":440364,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Tangible, Embedded and Embodied Interaction","volume":"336 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124308354","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Mann, John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2001]. An example of NUI is the idioscope, a highly expressive musical instrument based on continuous (\"undigital\") scratch input [\"Natural Interfaces for Musical Expression...\", S. Mann, in Proc. NIME 2007, Jun6--10, New York, NY, USA.]. Human beings are \"cyborgs\" in the sense that we usually experience nature indirectly, through technologies like shoes, clothing, or smartphones. In fact we're often forbidden from interacting directly with the world around us, e.g. simply removing our shoes to feel the earth beneath our feet is likely to have us stopped by police or security guards. Natural User-Interfaces challenge this layer of indirection, and use direct physical contact with multisensory primordial input devices such as solids, liquids, and gases. H2O (dihydrogen monoxide) is the only chemical substance that we commonly and directly experience in all three of these states-of-matter. Thus H2O is a natural choice for a natural user-interface. H2O is not the same thing as water: it is more general than water in the sense that it can also exist as ice or steam. We explore ice and steam as primordial natural user interfaces. Our ultimate goal is the creation of a centre for Cyborg-Environment Interaction (CEI) as a research trajectory exploring the relationship between nature and technology. Presently, we will celebrate the solid and gaseous states of H2O through ice mallets and steam pipes, in a performance entitled \"Sublime Sublimation\".","PeriodicalId":440364,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Tangible, Embedded and Embodied Interaction","volume":"107 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124860647","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The idea of design fictions blurs the boundaries between traditional design practices and narrative explorations of potential futures. If the goal of design is to devise courses of action aimed at changing existing situations into preferred ones, then the goal of design fiction is to use speculations, metaphors, and explorations of desired futurities to explicate and inform material design practices. Participants will have a chance to discuss these ideas, as well as to design and build their own \"diegetic prototypes\" out of materials sourced from local antique shops, thrift stores, and other nearby sources of inspiration. Through this hands-on exploration of the constraints and affordances of fictional scenarios and scavenged materials, we hope to collectively explore a compelling new design space for tangibles.","PeriodicalId":440364,"journal":{"name":"Proceedings of the Sixth International Conference on Tangible, Embedded and Embodied Interaction","volume":"45 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2012-02-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"128276195","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
